I ordered a bacon egg and cheese bagel. The egg was unseasoned and there was a half of a piece of very thin bacon on it. Very disappointing.

As I had been on a pastrami kick lately, I knew that Chewish needed to be next on my list of Deli spots I had to try. I figured if anyone could give me a great-tasting bagel sandwich, it would be the shop with traditional New York-style bagels and a Jewish-style deli. I wanted to place an order online, but their online ordering system seems to always be offline. This makes it harder to view the menu, especially if you want to create your own sandwich, as their website only lists the option to do so, but not any of the meats or toppings you can add. I decided to create my own bagel sandwich with an everything bagel, pastrami, corned beef, Swiss cheese, mayo, mustard, and sauerkraut on the side. To my dismay, the sandwich was overall a bit of a disappointment. The flavor in general for everything was pretty muted. I ordered an everything bagel but could barely taste the bagel seasoning and the bagel lacked that crispy outside and chewy inside texture. I ordered both pastrami and corned beef and was disappointed in the serving size. I also didn't receive my sauerkraut which was disappointing, but negligible. All in all, for a ~$12 bagel sandwich, I wanted and expected a lot more.

Very cool people, lots of dogs to love on out front while you wait. Ingredients were great. The sandwiches could have been put together more proportionally. Will give it another shot soon.
Place is awesome!! Highly recommend Pastrami sandwich and their bagels are delicious!!

Adorable little spot to grab a yummy bagel. I come here every time I visit the area. No dine in, just place your order and wait for them to call your name.

You really have to look hard to find the Chewish Deli in Alexandria. There aren't big signs or someone in a bagel costume directing you there. Stay the course on your map because wonderful bagels are waiting for you. The Chewish Deli has a great staff, and excellent service. They have fantastic bagels too!

This place balls hard. In a sleepy part of old town, great bagels, lox, breakfast sandwiches, nice vibe (I pad order, self serve coffee, etc). Right next to Captain MAs. Pick up your fish for Sunday dinner at home!

Great little spot - especially considering the alternatives in Alexandria. Great quality bagels - good crunch with soft interior - good ratio of flavor and seasoning kn everything bagels. Grilled cheese is a hit. Cream cheese bagel - also great. Only qualm is the BEC could use a bit more bacon, but the BEC is still far above average in the DC area. Service wise it's fantastic, small business and great to support them - dog friendly and friendly staff. Highly recommend!
